Fortnite to be blacklisted from Apple ecosystem until the exhaustion of all appeals, could be up to 5 years

Always nice to see Timmy Suffer

The 3060 and 3070 super rumors makes no sense, and even kopite says that he doubts some of the specs. The change from GDDR6 to GDDR6X won't do anything for the 3070 Super to warrant any price increase, and the hardware bump of the 3060 Super is way to big to make any sense and kills several of Nvidia's own cards in the way.

But well, time will tell.

Yeah, I'm gonna be honest, I actually liked the different regions of BFA more than Shadowlands.

I like the Vulpera's and their land with the Snek ppl, I love Bwonsamdi and his land of the dead style zone, as well as the blood trolls trying to resurrect Ghu'n. I also like how both Alliance & Horde were able to travel to each factions respective island after finishing their own, as with Shadowlands, you pretty much just do chores for each covenant and that got stale really fast for me. 

Probably doesn't help that Shadowlands has one singular topic for it's entire expansion, the subject of death, while also working for dead people with slightly different motives. BFA had you working with multiple factions with their own stories and while the topic was faction war, it was a t least different with each faction you ran into (like the Blood trolls, the snake ppl, the Zan Trolls etc).

I don't mind Torghast all that much, but none of it feels rewarding in the end, which can sour the taste. Krthia is basically Blizz making Timeless Isle 2.0 again, and I didn't like it back in Mists of Pandaria, I still don't like it now. I have died way more times in Korthia, than I've died in the past two expacs alone, and that pissed me off, because I grinded dungeons weekly to get all the gear I could, then Korthia turned around and bitch slapped me with 1-2 mobs melting me in seconds (seriously, that's not fun Blizz, that makes gear grinding pointless and fruitless).

I think Blizz needs to only look at the good parts the public loved about each expac and work on them more, while doing away with the SODDING WAR TABLES....

God I fucking hated how ever since WoD, we've had those stupid anti social war tables, that are designed to just keep you there, not doing anything expect clicking a few icons and then having to wait a whole day for a possible good result. 

The only plus side from this expac so far for me has been timewalking, and that's for old content, not new...

The fanboys were like "Epic can afford to pay them off, like a drop in the bucket"

Apple "you're not coming back for a possible 5 yrs"

Looks like they owe money and don't get to eat their cake, thems the rules Timmy boy. 

Yea pretty much. I do hope they continue to fight it out cause it's one of those situations where I want both of them to lose.

This chud really wants to become one of the megacorps that gets to decide what goes and comes around lol. He reeks of jealousy.

If they were the ones running the show, we would be in a world of shit, because there would be no middle man, no actual competition, just him gatekeeping shit because it's not running on his network, his client, his anti-cheat.

Didn't realize things were quite that bad already. Going full woke asap probably wouldn't help anymore at this point then. Best the fans probably could hope for would be another split there as well, where Bliz can straighten things out themselves and do their own thing. Reminds me a bit of the Activision Bungie partnership, and look what Bungie ended up doing in the end, which many wanted but nobody thought would ever happen. It did seem to help Destiny overall, but enough damage had already been done by that point. I go back to it every once and a while here and there, but it's still not the same.

For a world and industry so full of creativity, there's a lot of game changing going on instead of game creation. It's one thing when change is clearly needed, but another when change becomes the norm. Sad to see.

Neither did I. I originally thought "nah, can't be real, it's another typical anon post on a chan board", but then I heard asmogold talking about the post and his interactions with Blizz employees on twitter, as well as generally looking at Blizz's game history and the things we didn't want implemented throughout multiple IP's.

I more or less see most of what was written as being legit, but I'm not sure about upper management losing their shit to FFXIV newcomers.

Still, the going woke part is starting to come to fruition with the most recent headline of them wanting to "diversify" staff. That and the recent painting changes in WoW. 

I honestly just want the old teams back together, but a good chunk of them have left to make their own studios now, so if Blizz decided to somehow split from Activision, they would still have to try finding themselves again and going back to their roots (with brand new staff, even younger ones, I don't think that's entirely possible). 

No it would never be the same, but a worthy comeback is certainly possible if seriously executed. After a split of course. They would need to be pretty fussy about who they brought in, yet that could mean a long wait for just the right people and slow growth. Which may be beneficial so the past get's mostly forgotten and left in the past. Then either move the woke crowd to where they'll do less damage within the company or perhaps let them start something totally fresh that's all theirs. Budgeted properly of course for a fresh IP. Try that whole game creation thing full woke a time or two and see if those attempts go full broke. If it works in the end, great, let that branch grow, and if it doesn't, a downsizing may be in order. To speed things up they could attempt to merge some of the new studio's with their old talent. Get Blizz back on track quicker and then help expand the newer studios and their IP. I mean it all could be done in many ways, but whether they really want to or not is the big question. If they're happy or willing to just stay the course than good luck I guess.

Good morning, guys, here's a little surprise for you:
